MinYoung Lee

Touch the water to drop ink. Drag across it to comb.

MinYoung Lee seated on stage, holding a clarinet and looking to the side.

A clarinet-based artist and producer whose practice is grounded in classical and contemporary music.

Lee explores the sonic possibilities of the clarinet and has recently expanded this practice by bringing effects pedals and electronic equipment into sound design.

With a particular interest in interactive art and interdisciplinary practice, Lee has collaborated with marbling artists, movement artists and visual artists. A recent project explored memory by combining live clarinet and electronic sound with a virtual environment in which a village was rebuilt as a game-like map.

The creative process behind these works, and other clarinet-based projects, is shared on the YouTube channel romangcla.

Now

Resident artist no. 196 at ACENTRICSPACE, Shanghai (July 2026). With an engineer and a composer, Lee is tracing points of connection between the waters of Jeju and Shanghai, reinterpreting their movement through film, performance and sound.
